A former boxer who tried to kill a policeman when he smashed the officer over the head with a samurai sword says he was left psychologically distressed after his marriage breakdown.

Milos Radovic, 47, was outside his former wife’s Rockingham home in July 2017 when he hit Sen. Const. Andrew Swift with a sword.

Radovic claimed he accidentally sliced open Sen. Const. Swift’s head after he was tasered, arguing he moved the sword in a “tai chi” motion during a muscle spasm and fell forward onto the officer’s skull.
